Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging service, that allows users to send multimedia and make voice and video calls.

This messenger was first launched in 2013 by the two brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov, Who had already tasted the fruit of success through the Russian Social Network VK, which they have found themselves but as it was later taken over by the Mail.Ru Group, so they had to leave the company.

Currently, Telegram Messenger App is supported by the brother’s duo Pavel and Nikolai Durov. In this new project, they have shared the responsibility of the Telegram project. In this project, Pavel supports Telegram financially and ideologically, while Nikolai’s input is towards the technological side. Being a Tech Geek, Nikolai has developed a unique custom data protocol, which is not only open and secure but also is optimized for working with multiple data centers.

This has made Telegram to work in every possible way. As a result, Telegram combines security, reliability and seed on any network which you will rarely find in other.
